All organizations fundraise in<br />

order to finance needed repairs,<br />

upgrades, additions and the like.<br />

St. George Orthodox Church is<br />

no different. What is different is<br />

the group of young women who<br />

are working to raise funds for<br />

renovations to the aging church<br />

so that older parishioners can<br />

once again have access to the<br />

facility.<br />

“One of our immediate<br />

problems is that our elders can<br />

no longer maneuver the stairs,<br />

limiting their participation in<br />

church activities,” Pastor's wife<br />

and a member of the Ladies of<br />

St. George, Erin Kimmett said.<br />

“That’s very sad and needs to be<br />

fixed."<br />

The Ladies of St. George is a<br />

group of eight women who have<br />

been members of this church<br />

since childhood. They were<br />

also childhood friends, most<br />

of whom grew up in the same<br />

neighborhood of South <strong>Norwood</strong>.<br />

All of these women work<br />

outside the home and volunteer<br />

their time to enrich the lives of<br />

those around them.<br />

parishioner and one of the<br />

for our church and our heritage,"<br />

Longtime parishioner and<br />

Ladies member said.<br />

That becomes obvious the<br />

more one talks with the group.<br />

These young women don’t<br />

just talk the talk, as the saying<br />

goes, they are fully engaged in<br />

making positive things happen<br />

for their church community.<br />

They have worked on many<br />

fundraisers together including a<br />

gala in 2015 where they raised<br />

$50,000. And, while they don’t<br />

always agree on details, they<br />

work well together making decisions<br />

on a consensus basis.<br />

Updates on the<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Food Pantry<br />

Staffing changes<br />

and a successful<br />

cereal drive to start.<br />

by Renee Plant<br />

Exciting events heated up the<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Ecumenical Food Pantry<br />

this summer.<br />

The organization opened its<br />

doors in 1989 at the Grace Episcopal<br />

Church, 150 Chapel St. Since<br />

then, volunteers have worked to<br />

service more than 2,500 families,<br />

and currently serve more than 350<br />

families in <strong>Norwood</strong> and Westwood.<br />

From the time of the organization’s<br />

inception, former Executive<br />

Director Ruth Taegar was a<br />

key component in ensuring the<br />

day-to-day operations at the pantry<br />

ran smoothly. Taegar recently<br />

retired from her position, and was<br />

honored for her efforts at the <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

4th of July parade this year<br />

where the theme was community<br />

spirit and volunteerism.<br />

“Ruth dedicated nearly 30<br />

years, and it’s taken many people<br />

to fill her shoes,” <strong>Norwood</strong> Food<br />

Pantry Chair of the Board Cindy<br />

Zafft said. “We are currently working<br />

to diffuse the work Ruth did<br />

among multiple volunteers.”<br />

Two co-directors, Claudia<br />

Mackey and Nancy Maier, have<br />

been appointed to fill Taeger’s former<br />

position - a job Zafft described<br />

as both consuming and rewarding.<br />

“It’s a very demanding job,<br />

which a lot of people may not realize,”<br />

Zafft said. “Over the phone,<br />

we collect information about individuals<br />

and their needs in their<br />

homes. However, there’s also the<br />

physical aspect of moving and delivering<br />

the food, and that can get<br />

pretty exhausting.”<br />

The act of moving food means<br />

not only organizing within the<br />

pantry, but also delivering food to<br />

the clients who are unable to make<br />

it to the pantry during the pantry<br />

hours on Saturday mornings.<br />

These deliveries are made exclusively<br />

by volunteers.<br />

“There are a number of opportunities<br />

here for anyone in<br />

the community looking to get involved,”<br />

Zafft said. “People think<br />

of helping clients on Saturdays,<br />

IDEA<br />

continued from page 1<br />

What is notable, is that they have<br />

an obvious love and respect for<br />

one another. No one wants the<br />

limelight, and everyone’s efforts<br />

are valued.<br />

Two years ago, the group realized<br />

they would not be able to<br />

make the major renovations the<br />

church needs by holding small<br />

fundraisers. They needed 'a big<br />

idea.' Something that would continue<br />

to bring in revenue long after<br />

the event was over.<br />

Growing up, each woman<br />

was positively influenced by her<br />

grandmother, so after numerous<br />

brainstorming sessions they decided<br />

to create something from<br />

the kitchen. The winning idea was<br />

a Middle Eastern salad dressing.<br />

Each brought in her grandmother’s<br />

recipes and after many variations<br />

were tried and tweaked, they<br />

settled on the one that reminded<br />

each of them of their heritage<br />

and had the ‘fresh taste’ they were<br />

after.<br />

They used their mix on the salads<br />

they served for church lunches;<br />

people loved it and asked for the<br />

recipe. They did blind taste tests<br />

and tried the dressing out on local<br />

restaurant owners to find out if it<br />

had mass appeal. Each step of the<br />

way they were met with encouragement.<br />

But the journey was not easy.<br />

Trying to find a commercial<br />

source to mix the spices in bulk<br />

and to package them generated<br />

many rejections. Savory Spice<br />

Shop of Denver, CO, a small family<br />

business, was impressed with<br />

their mission and agreed to help.<br />

And the project moved on.<br />

Parishioner Nancy Kelly Jones<br />

donated her time and talent to develop<br />

their branding materials.<br />

“Our grandparents settled here<br />

and built this church," Campbell<br />

said. "We have a great respect<br />

for what they accomplished and<br />

wanted to do something to honor<br />

them.”<br />

So it was relatively easy for<br />

the group to agree on the name<br />

for their product. Sittee’s Savory<br />

Kitchen, Middle Eastern Salad<br />

Dressing.<br />

Their mission statement says,<br />

"Sittee is 'my grandmother'" – one<br />

of countless women who, as the<br />

backbone of our community, used<br />

their culinary talents to help build<br />

and sustain our church. Sittee’s<br />

Savory Kitchen honors these beloved<br />

women and their legacy by<br />

giving all proceeds to the Building<br />

Fund.”<br />

Sales officially kicked off at<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Day where they gave<br />

out samples and received great<br />

feedback with comments like<br />

‘bright,’ ‘fresh,’ and ‘light.’ They<br />

sold all of their inventory in very<br />

short time.<br />

They plan to start selling at<br />

Farmers’ Markets in the near future<br />

and will work toward an increasingly<br />

wider distribution. They<br />

also have their first distributor. As<br />

of September 17, Ramblin Rose<br />

Cottage Vintage Home and Garden<br />

Shop, at the Winsmith Mill<br />

Market, 61 Endicott St., in <strong>Norwood</strong>,<br />

will stock Sittee’s Middle<br />

Eastern salad dressing. Two spice<br />

packets are packaged in a one-pint<br />

Mason-style jar that can be used<br />

to prepare the dressing. The cost is<br />

$6.99 per jar. Each jar comes with<br />

two recipes, one called Simple &<br />

Delicious, the other Authentic.<br />

For more information, additional<br />

recipes and to order on-line, go to<br />

www.SitteesSavoryKitchen.com.<br />

Kimmett says, “Our parish is<br />

known for making anyone who<br />

walks in the door family,” Kimmett<br />

said. Hospitality, acceptance,<br />

love, church and family are all<br />

intertwined in this community.<br />

The Sittee’s of the Ladies of St.<br />

George would be very proud of<br />

their granddaughters’ endeavors.<br />

Typical items that are in highdemand<br />

at the pantry include<br />

canned fruit, canned meat, dry<br />

milk and meat soups. There is also<br />

a constant need for dry cereal,<br />

which was addressed in a big way<br />

this summer.<br />

“We were contacted by Fox 25<br />

News before their ZipTrip to <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

[in August]”, Zafft said. “We<br />

had a cereal drive where those<br />

attending were asked to bring a<br />

healthy box of cereal. We received<br />

more than 240 boxes.”<br />

Volunteers at the food pantry<br />

encourage those who are in need<br />

of services, or who would like to<br />

donate their time, to reach out<br />

and get involved. For more information,<br />

Sponsored by <strong>Norwood</strong> League of Women Voters<br />

“Learn the ABCs of the CPA” is a forum designed to<br />

help <strong>Norwood</strong>’s voting public gather information about the<br />

Community Preservation Act (CPA). Question 5, is on the<br />

ballot for the November 8 election. This event will take place<br />

Wednesday, <strong>October</strong> 19, 7 p.m., in the <strong>Norwood</strong> Police and<br />

Fire Station, Community Room, located at 136 Nahatan St.<br />

The League has arranged a panel of speakers to provide<br />

information about the benefits and negative sides of adopting<br />

the law, how the surcharge will be assessed to residents,<br />

and how the CPA has evolved in a neighboring community,<br />

which adopted the CPA three years ago. Each speaker will<br />

present information, and there will be a question and answer<br />

period following the presentations.<br />

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan, political<br />

organization founded in 1920 – the year that women were<br />

granted the right to vote. The purposes of the League of<br />

Women Voters are twofold: (1) Voter Service: to promote<br />

informed, active citizen participation in government; and<br />

(2) Inform and Educate: to influence public policy through<br />

education and advocacy, and to take positions on substantive<br />

issues after careful study, which may or may not be of<br />

legislative concern.<br />

The <strong>Norwood</strong> chapter of the League informs and educates<br />

the public on substantive issues in different ways. The<br />

goal for this event is to provide the public with a comprehensive<br />

overview of the Community Preservation Act that will<br />

help voters make an informed decision when they go to the<br />

polls on November 8.<br />

Winter Street Family Dental – Now Open<br />

Based on the idea that teamwork<br />

is better, Drs. Sapak and<br />

Pezeshki formed their partnership<br />

as Winter Street Family Dental in<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong>. Formerly the office of<br />

Dr. Thomas Hawley, both doctors<br />

were fortunate to be his students<br />

while attending Boston University.<br />

Led by a need to provide better<br />

care for their patients and inspired<br />

by a combined 28 years of<br />

experience, they have established<br />

their office as a fair, honest and<br />

ethical family dental practice that<br />

places these values above all else.<br />

It is their combined mission that<br />

they will do everything they can<br />

to ensure that you have the best<br />

experience possible. That means<br />

knowledgeable dentists, a friendly<br />

staff and a promise that they’ll always<br />

do right by you. It also means<br />

no hidden fees or inflated prices.<br />

Winter Street Family Dental<br />

provides all phases of general dental<br />

treatment for children, adults<br />

and elderly alike. They offer the<br />

feel.<br />

Drs. Sapak and Pezeshki each<br />

have over fourteen years’ experience<br />

in providing exceptional<br />

dental care in the Boston area,<br />

ranging from general dental treatments<br />

like fillings, crowns, extractions<br />

and periodontal treatment<br />

to more complex full mouth rehabilitation,<br />

Crafting in <strong>Norwood</strong> is a Community Event!<br />

by Bella Caggiano<br />

Craft fair enthusiasts, mark<br />

your calendars! One of the best<br />

craft fairs in the area will again be<br />

hosted at <strong>Norwood</strong> High School,<br />

245 Nichols St., on Saturday, <strong>October</strong><br />

15, 9 a.m-2:30 p.m.<br />

Every <strong>October</strong>, the town of<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> hosts a favorite fall shopping<br />

stop for crafting fans at the<br />

Annual Craft Affair at <strong>Norwood</strong>.<br />

This event, however, means a lot<br />

more than just a fun and successful<br />

shopping day. In addition to developing<br />

into one of the premier<br />

craft venues in the state, it is a very<br />

successful fundraiser for <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

High School and local organizations.<br />

The 'Affair' includes approximately<br />

70 crafters who travel to<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> from all over New England<br />

to showcase their creative<br />

wares. In addition to sewn, crocheted<br />

and knitted pieces, there<br />

will be chocolate and honey, items<br />

for pets, jewelry, holiday decor,<br />

wreaths, stained glass, jams and<br />

jellies, mirrors, paintings, 3-tiered<br />

plates, bags, scarves, soap, wooden<br />

toys, painted glass, quilts, ornaments,<br />

hats and mittens, cards,<br />

plastic canvas, hand towels, hair<br />

bows, hen houses, ceramics, puzzle<br />

lights, decoupage plates and<br />

doll clothes, and much more!<br />

The huge assortments of raffles<br />

are always a popular corner with<br />

chances to win many handmade<br />

items, gift certificates and Mustang<br />

memorabilia!<br />

The history of A Craft Affair<br />

was a brilliant concept created by<br />

former <strong>Norwood</strong> High School<br />

teacher Paula Pelaggi as a fundraiser<br />

for the <strong>Norwood</strong> Post Prom<br />

Party. Because of its economical<br />

success, however, it has grown to<br />

not only aid its original beneficiary,<br />

but also provides donations<br />

to numerous <strong>Norwood</strong> school organizations.<br />

In addition to its positive<br />

attendance figures,<br />

crafters enroll in A Craft<br />

Affair because the day is<br />

truly a community event.<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> students and<br />

athletes offer their services<br />

preparing the gym<br />

and setting up tables and<br />

assisting crafters carrying<br />

their items from and to<br />

their cars and providing<br />

their breaks throughout<br />

the day. They also help<br />

run the raffles and bake<br />

sales.<br />

While a large amount<br />

of the proceeds go towards<br />

the Post Prom<br />

Party, any group or team<br />

that has students helping<br />

at the craft fair is eligible to apply<br />

for funds for their club from the<br />

day's profits. Past organizations<br />

have included, <strong>Norwood</strong> sports<br />

teams, the drama club, cheerleaders,<br />

SAAD (Students Against Destructive<br />

Decisions) and the fine<br />

arts department after school programs.<br />

What is considered one of the<br />

leading craft fairs in the area, A<br />

Craft Affair at <strong>Norwood</strong> sees an<br />

average of 700 customers walk<br />

through the door, while in years<br />

during a stronger economy, as<br />

many as 1,000 to 2,000 have<br />

bought tickets. With that kind of<br />

popularity, the craft fair is considered<br />

the largest <strong>Norwood</strong> High<br />

School fundraiser and is typically<br />

able to donate $4,000 to the Post<br />

Prom Party Committee and up to<br />

$300 for each school organization<br />

that applies.<br />

Tickets are $3 for adults, and $2<br />

for seniors and children under 12<br />

and are available at the door the<br />

day of the event. Purchase hostess<br />

gifts and decorative items for the<br />

holidays, or come by and pick out<br />

something handmade and beautiful<br />

as a personal fall present!<br />

Last Paige, Tutoring & Test Prep Practice, Opens in <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

Lisa Paige, PhD, is happy to<br />

announce the opening of her new<br />

tutoring and test prep practice in<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Center on Washington<br />

Street.<br />

Lisa, who holds degrees from<br />

Harvard University and Bryn<br />

Mawr College, formerly worked<br />

at the now closed Chyten/4.0<br />

Educational centers in Millis and<br />

Westwood.<br />

“Tutors and families were sad<br />

to see 4.0 Education close,” Lisa<br />

says. “It was the only locally owned<br />

test-prep and tutoring center in<br />

the area, and was staffed only by<br />

tutors with higher degrees.”<br />

Lisa says that although her<br />

practice is rapidly filling, at the<br />

moment she is still accepting new<br />

students. In addition to complete<br />

test prep (SSAT, SAT, ACT, ISEE),<br />

she also offers subject tutoring in<br />

writing, English lit, pre-algebra,<br />

algebra, and geometry, as well<br />

as coaching on the college essay,<br />

Common App and individual college<br />

supplements, and college interviews.<br />

She partners and shares<br />

mutual referrals with local college<br />

counselors and top-quality educators<br />

with expertise in areas she<br />

doesn’t teach (calculus, chemistry,<br />

biology, physics, Spanish, and<br />

French).<br />

Lisa urges parents to help their<br />

teens avoid stress by starting them<br />

early with the New SAT prep.<br />

“With the advent of the New<br />

SAT, students need to start prepping<br />

well in advance, especially<br />

for the reading comp and math<br />

sections,” she says. “The reading<br />

selections in particular can be<br />

murder.”<br />

For that reason, she is offering<br />

free diagnostic tests and consultations<br />

to parents of sophomores<br />

and juniors. “Many of the SAT<br />

readings are from literary fiction<br />

and historical documents students<br />

should be reading anyway,” she<br />

adds. “High school English and<br />

history teachers are doing a great<br />

job, but there is only so much they<br />

can assign. Students need to augment<br />

that with independent reading<br />

or they will be in shock when<br />

they take the New SAT.”<br />

Lisa also consults with Open<br />

Door Education in Acton and<br />

Signet Education in Cambridge.<br />

Who Can Benefit From Physical Therapy<br />

by John Vacovec, Physical<br />

Therapist and CEO of<br />

Physical Therapy and Sports<br />

Rehab, Inc.<br />

Physical therapy is not just<br />

for people who have sustained a<br />

major injury. It is beneficial for<br />

anyone who has been injured, has<br />

a chronic illness or disease, needs<br />

rehabilitation or has difficulty with<br />

mobility. Physical therapists assist<br />

people with developmental disabilities,<br />

neurological conditions,<br />

and those with a prosthesis. Treatments<br />

can often provide an alternative<br />

to surgery and long-term<br />

use of prescription medications<br />

for pain.<br />

Therapists develop individualized<br />

treatment and management<br />

Gerwick Puppets<br />

Kids’ Show<br />

plans that aid the patient's recovery<br />

from wounds, broken bones,<br />

neurological damage, jaw pain<br />

and migraines. Physical therapy<br />

is effective for addressing chronic<br />

diseases ranging from diabetes,<br />

COPD and osteoarthritis to brain<br />

injuries, cystic fibrosis and musculoskeletal<br />

disorders.<br />

Physical therapy provides the<br />

expertise and technology to improve<br />

balance and sports performance,<br />

make environmental and<br />

ergonomic changes that facilitate<br />

movement and a better quality of<br />

life. Treatments also reduce the<br />

risk of injury and assist patients in<br />

the use of mobility aids.<br />

Therapies are valuable for addressing<br />

emotional and psychological<br />

issues. They help patients<br />

engaged in smoking cessation,<br />

anger and stress management,<br />

weight loss and substance abuse<br />

programs. Sepsis, asthma, organ<br />

failure and seasonal affective disorder<br />

can all be alleviated with<br />

physical therapy.<br />

Multiple Venues<br />

Physical therapy is typically<br />

administered within the clinic, but<br />

maintenance programs can be<br />

designed for home use. Therapies<br />

are appropriate for patients of all<br />

ages, from premature infants to<br />

seniors. They help injuries heal,<br />

alleviate pain, and work with the<br />

body’s own abilities to facilitate<br />

recoveries.<br />

Abbey Road Complete<br />

Current, acute and past injuries<br />

with lingering symptoms<br />

can be treated successfully with<br />

physical therapy. It’s beneficial<br />

for alleviating the rigors and<br />

side effects of cancer treatments.<br />

Therapists offer gait<br />

assessments and training to rid<br />

patients of unproductive habits<br />

and increase the effectiveness<br />

and efficiency of movement.<br />

Therapies can be used alone<br />

or in combination with other<br />

methods that best meets the<br />

patient’s needs.<br />

Whole-body Wellness<br />

Clinical Pilates, aerobics and<br />

resistance training can be used to<br />

improve flexibility, strength, balance<br />

and endurance. Manual manipulation<br />

and mobilization aids<br />

can help patients with disabilities<br />

or who may not be able to participate<br />

fully in therapy. Treatments<br />

can also be designed to reduce<br />

inflammation that causes swelling<br />

and pain, reducing the need for<br />

prescription medications.<br />

Those engaged in sports will<br />

benefit from therapeutic massage,<br />

dry needling and cupping to ease<br />

stress, improve endurance, balance<br />

and agility, and help in reducing<br />

the risk of injury. Therapies are<br />

safe for women during pregnancy<br />

and in alleviating the discomfort<br />

of breastfeeding. Ultrasounds,<br />

electrical stimulation and heat<br />

and cold therapies are beneficial<br />

for muscle, joint and neurological<br />

disorders and aid in maintaining<br />

the health of soft tissues.<br />

Patients don’t have to sustain a<br />

catastrophic injury to benefit from<br />

physical therapy. If you need physical<br />

therapy, call us directly and we<br />

can evaluate your condition and<br />

begin treatment right away. If<br />

additional treatments are necessary,<br />

we can coordinate with your<br />

MD. Your recovery is our expertise!<br />

celebration of the <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

Masonic Building, and as part of<br />

its observance of the anniversary,<br />

members of Orient Lodge in <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

this past June recovered a<br />

time capsule that was placed at the<br />

lodge building in 1916. The time<br />

capsule included records, photographs,<br />

newspapers and more, all<br />

of which unfold to tell a story of<br />

the growth and expansion of both<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> and of Freemasonry in<br />

the community.<br />

Also included was a smaller<br />

time capsule that had originally<br />

been placed in 1876 at the former<br />

Masonic lodge room at Village<br />

Hall on Washington St. The<br />

1876 capsule has remained sealed<br />

to date, and will for the first time<br />

in more than 100 years be opened<br />

on <strong>October</strong> 15. All are welcome to<br />

attend. The opening will begin at<br />

Pink Paws Walk Again!<br />

4th Annual Breast in Show Walk, <strong>October</strong> 30<br />

by Bella Caggiano<br />

Pink hues dominate the streets<br />

of <strong>Norwood</strong> the last Sunday in<br />

<strong>October</strong>. On this day, for the past<br />

three years, dogs are take the lead<br />

in the fight again breast cancer.<br />

On <strong>October</strong> 30, the 4th Annual<br />

Breast In Show Walk, sponsored<br />

by The Soggie Doggie, in S. <strong>Norwood</strong>,<br />

recruit both two and four<br />

legged volunteers to raise money<br />

for cancer research. The fourlegged<br />

companions will accompany<br />

their families, and all walkers<br />

are invited, with or without a dog!<br />

Participants and their leashed<br />

pets will launch the walk at The<br />

Soggie Doggie, 1159 Washington<br />

St., in South <strong>Norwood</strong>, at 10 a.m.,<br />

and proceed to <strong>Norwood</strong> Center<br />

and the Town Common, for a<br />

break and social gathering. The<br />

return trip heads down Central<br />

St., down Guild, Broadway and<br />

VOTE TIM HEMPTON<br />

FOR FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE<br />

Washington St., and back to the<br />

salon.<br />

In past years, approximately<br />

120-140 walkers participated,<br />

where almost 80 dogs and even<br />

1 cat (in a carrier) has joined in<br />

the event. Co-owners Becky Collins<br />

and Meghan Terwilliger were<br />

inspired to initiate the walk after<br />

seeing football players wearing<br />

pink in <strong>October</strong>, the official Breast<br />

Cancer Awareness Month. Both<br />

women have unfortunately experienced<br />

the life-changing effects of<br />

breast cancer within their families<br />

and wanted to reach out to help<br />

find a cure for this devastating diagnosis.<br />

"The idea started as simply<br />

encouraging clients to do pink<br />

creative grooming through the<br />

month of <strong>October</strong>, Terwilliger<br />

said. "We then thought maybe we<br />

could join in on an already established<br />

walk (Susan G<br />

Comen or Avon) with<br />

all of our pink pets,<br />

but then decided that<br />

we should just do our<br />

own!"<br />

Not available to<br />

attend the event but<br />

want to contribute?<br />

Throughout the month<br />

of <strong>October</strong>, The Soggie<br />

Doggie enhances its high<br />

quality and creative dog and cat<br />

grooming to raise monetary donations<br />

through their pet services.<br />

All the proceeds from the purchase<br />

of any pink creative color (dye the<br />

ears, tail, paws, etc.), pink feather<br />

extensions or pink nail pawlish will<br />

go directly to The Breast Cancer<br />

Research Foundation (BCRF),<br />

where 100% of every dollar goes<br />

into the fund. Check out their<br />

Facebook Page at The Soggie<br />

Doggie for some great examples<br />

of pink grooming services. Sprayon<br />

color options will also be available<br />

the day of the event.<br />

"Everyone has been affected<br />

by breast cancer in some way,"<br />

Terwilliger said. "We all<br />

know somebody who has either<br />

survived breast cancer, passed<br />

away because of breast cancer, or<br />

is fighting it now. We want to do<br />

whatever we can to help these doctors<br />

find a cure. And who doesn't<br />

love a pink dog?!"<br />

Registration for the Breast in<br />

Show Walk is $30 and each participant<br />

will receive a silicone wristband<br />

and t-shirts (while supplies<br />

last). Walkers with or without dogs<br />

(or cats in carriers) are welcome!<br />

For more information or to obtain<br />

a registration form, contact The<br />

Soggie Doggie, 1159 Washington<br />

St., <strong>Norwood</strong>, 781-352-3509. The<br />

Monthly Pains Relieved Without Medications<br />

Menstrual irregularity or<br />

cramping plagues many women<br />

on a regular basis often interfering<br />

with their daily activities and<br />

can be debilitating for days on<br />

end. Many sufferers turn to overthe-counter<br />

medications (which<br />

are insufficient in most cases) or<br />

prescription medications, such as<br />

birth control pills, and both resources,<br />

often unsuccessful, can<br />

bring other negative ramifications.<br />

For many years, Debbie B. suffered<br />

with painful periods, accompanied<br />

by severe headaches, and<br />

used drugstore medications to respond<br />

to her distress. She thought<br />

after having children these issues<br />

would subside, but to no avail. She<br />

visited her primary care doctor<br />

who suggested she see her gynecologist<br />

to rule out pathological issues,<br />

but no physical abnormalities<br />

were detected. She was advised to<br />

go on the birth control pill, but<br />

had tried that route in the past<br />

with no success. She hit another<br />

dead end.<br />

A colleague suggested she<br />

make an appointment with Dr<br />

Bien at The Holistic Center at<br />

Bristol Square. Upon an exam,<br />

Dr. Bien determined that Debbie<br />

had a severe Candida issue that<br />

had gone undiagnosed for years<br />

which was contributing to her<br />

symptoms. After following a suggested<br />

change in diet, a supplement<br />

regiment and weekly visits<br />

to Dr. Bien, her menstrual issues<br />

disappeared.<br />

Debbie is beyond happy that<br />

she no longer has to live with the<br />

monthly pain and discomfort. To<br />

ensure her discomfort does not return<br />

she visits The Holistic Center<br />

at Bristol Square for maintenance<br />

appointments. If you are suffering<br />

from menstrual issues, do not hesitate<br />

to schedule an appointment<br />

with Dr. Bien at The Holistic Center<br />

at Bristol Square, 1426 Main<br />

“Learn the ABCs of the<br />

CPA” is a forum designed to<br />

help <strong>Norwood</strong>’s voting public<br />

gather information about the<br />

Community Preservation Act<br />

(CPA). Question 5, asking<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong>’s support to adopt<br />

this legislation, is on the ballot<br />

for November 8, <strong>2016</strong>. The<br />

League has arranged a panel of<br />

speakers to provide information<br />

about the benefits of the law,<br />

the negative side of adopting<br />

this law, how the surcharge will<br />

be assessed to residents, and<br />

how the CPA has evolved in a<br />

neighboring community, which<br />

adopted the CPA three years<br />

ago. This event is sponsored<br />

by the <strong>Norwood</strong> League of<br />

Woman Voters, and is free and<br />

open to the public.<br />

A Year Later, Healthier than Ever Before!<br />

When Larry Regan joined<br />

New England Fat Loss (NEFL)<br />

in <strong>October</strong> of 2015, he did not<br />

anticipate a long-term successful<br />

weight loss. He's now in maintenance,<br />

having over 50 pounds of<br />

fat gone and being free of multiple<br />

medications, he happily admits, "I<br />

was wrong."<br />

"I didn't think I would EVER<br />

be where I am today," Regan said.<br />

"I tried everything; working out,<br />

almost every kind of diet there<br />

was, with no success. This was the<br />

first time I ever saw any real results<br />

immediately."<br />

The real triumph for Regan,<br />

however, is that 12 months later,<br />

he is still substantially lighter and<br />

much healthier. At the beginning<br />

of the program, he weighed 232<br />

pounds, had been diagnosed with<br />

type 2 diabetes, had high blood<br />

pressure and elevated cholesterol<br />

counts. He was referred to New<br />

England Fat Loss and his entire<br />

life changed.<br />

"Caring friends brought me<br />

here [NEFL], because I had been<br />

diagnosed with type 2 diabetes<br />

and they said they both had success<br />

with it," Regan said. "I could<br />

see it in them. I was pretty upset,<br />

so I was going to try one more<br />

thing."<br />

Armed with a full education on<br />

his personal metabolic food triggers,<br />

Regan is not only more comfortable<br />

within his own body, he<br />

does not feel restrained with menu<br />

choices. Once NEFL's technology<br />

helped identify his individual body<br />

makeup, his outlook on food completely<br />

changed.<br />

"The food list I'm now on, is<br />

food that metabolizes quickly in<br />

my specific body. We all have a<br />

different biochemistry, so we all get<br />

a different food list," Regan said.<br />

"All the foods are listed as positive<br />

or negative, with the negative food<br />

metabolizing slowly. If I want to<br />

eat something that metabolizes<br />

slowly, I combine it with something<br />

that metabolizes quickly<br />

and that can turn my meal from a<br />

negative into a positive."<br />

Today, 60-year-old Regan<br />

proudly declares his entire physical<br />

and mental outlook has changed<br />

from balancing his hormones and<br />

burning fat. He not only possesses<br />

a healthy blood sugar count, he is<br />

medication free, more active and<br />

more confident.<br />

"I am stronger than I have<br />

ever been," Regan said. "I have<br />

the information to maintain balance,<br />

and there is a sense of well<br />

being that I didn't realize would<br />

come along with that. I feel very<br />

comfortable. I wear clothes now<br />

that I never thought I would wear<br />

again. It has even improved my<br />

golf game! I don't hurt anymore,<br />

my knees don't hurt, my back<br />

doesn't hurt. One year ago, I<br />

never thought this was even possible."<br />

What will YOUR health look<br />

like, a year from now? At NEFL<br />

your personal imbalances are<br />

improved right away, and the<br />

pounds of fall off immediately.<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Volleyball<br />

by Christopher Tremblay<br />

After getting swept out of the<br />

Division 2 South tournament in<br />

the first round by Duxbury last<br />

fall, <strong>Norwood</strong> Coach Paul Nimblett<br />

is optimistic about this year’s<br />

squad moving past the first round.<br />

“I am very excited about the<br />

upcoming year; we have great<br />

senior leadership as well as some<br />

phenomenal underclassmen,”<br />

Coach Nimblett said. “The team<br />

is very deep and I feel that we can<br />

do some special things this year.”<br />

Nimblett was dead on with the<br />

Mustangs doing special things.<br />

In <strong>Norwood</strong>’s opening game, the<br />

squad did something they haven’t<br />

been able to do in some time, defeating<br />

Brookline 3-1.<br />

Looking to provide the team<br />

with a spark and keep things moving<br />

in a positive way are senior tricaptains<br />

Ally Copponi, the team’s<br />

setter; Krista Bradley (middle hitter)<br />

and Meghan Reen (outside<br />

hitter).<br />

“These girls have been providing<br />

great leadership so far,” Coach<br />

Nimblett said. “They really want<br />

to take this team to the next level<br />

record wise and into the tournament.”<br />

Copponi is entering her third<br />

season as the Mustang’s setter and<br />

not only grown in experience, she<br />

has improved her serve and is able<br />

to put the ball anywhere on the<br />

court that she wants to. Bradley<br />

and Reen are both important all<br />

around players. Bradley is a strong<br />

attacker with a big strike while<br />

Reen is one of the best defenders<br />

on the court and also provides a<br />

huge serve.<br />

In addition to the captains, juniors<br />

Kiki Ryan and Kaylin Reen<br />

will also be looked upon to produce<br />

this fall. Ryan, a middle hitter,<br />

plays at a high level and is looking<br />

to take her game to the next level<br />

with her newly developed jump<br />

serve, while the younger Reen is<br />

more of a defensive player.<br />

Nimblett also believes that the<br />

team’s serving has greatly improved<br />

coming into this season.<br />

“I feel that our serving is the<br />

best that it has been in awhile,”<br />

Coach Nimblett said. “It should<br />

help us greatly and keep opposing<br />

teams on their toes.”<br />

After taking last year off, senior<br />

outside hitter Emma Fleming has<br />

decided to return to the court in<br />

her final season with the Mustangs,<br />

and according to the coach,<br />

it’s like she never took time off.<br />

Sophomore libero Danielle<br />

Currivan has been a huge surprise<br />

thus far.<br />

“She is not only very quick, but<br />

plays aggressively,” Coach Nimblett<br />

said. “She has been huge<br />

defensively despite only being a<br />

sophomore.”<br />

Nimblett will be looking to two<br />

juniors to help the Mustangs back<br />

to the tournament in utility player<br />

Erin Spalding and first year varsity<br />

athlete Shaniya Feney as an outside<br />

hitter.<br />

Although the coach sees the<br />

Bay State Conference being a<br />

tough league to play in, he is positive<br />

that <strong>Norwood</strong> will be competitive.<br />

“We will compete night in and<br />

night out with the best of them,"<br />

Coach Nimblett said. "Our goal<br />

is nothing less than second place,<br />

but we’re shooting for first. You<br />

can see that the girls are giving<br />

that extra effort. They have grown<br />

mentally while skill wise their ability<br />

has improved; they just have to<br />

believe in themselves.”<br />

If the Mustangs can find the<br />

inner strength to believe in their<br />

ability, there is no doubt that they<br />

will find themselves back in the<br />

NATURE CALLS - Autumn Leaves – Colorful Gifts from Above<br />

By Amy Beaumont<br />

Ahhhhh, Fall in New England!<br />

It is for many people their favorite<br />

season of the year. The warm days,<br />

crisp nights and gorgeous fall colors<br />

are the reasons so many visitors<br />

flock to our region. And while many<br />

of us New Englanders curse out<br />

loud at the very thought of cleaning<br />

up the leaves every year, there is<br />

good reason to consider the benefit<br />

of the fallen foliage. It’s called composting<br />

– and it’s a free yet highly<br />

valuable method of feeding the<br />

plants in our very own yards. Many<br />

of us won’t take the time to compost<br />

but instead head to our local garden<br />

supply stores to pick up so-called<br />

‘safe’ fertilizer.<br />

Truth be told, the majority of<br />

Shred Today.<br />

Safe Tomorrow.<br />

Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 22nd, 9-11:30 am<br />

11 Central Street, <strong>Norwood</strong><br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> Bank cares about your privacy. We are proud to<br />

bring back our Community Shred Day, free and open to the<br />

public, to ensure everyone in our community can feel their<br />

information is secure. You may bring up to two boxes* of<br />

paper contents, including old bank statements, cancelled or<br />

unused checks and other confidential documents.<br />

us are largely unaware of just how<br />

damning these products are. In my<br />

research of these dangerous products<br />

for both this piece and earlier<br />

ones, the sobering facts were vast.<br />

The best and most effective way<br />

to educate the reader in regards<br />

to keeping their families safe is to<br />

state the most important. There are<br />

three elements in fertilizers you find<br />

on the shelves – nitrogen, phosphorus<br />

and potassium. You probably<br />

remember seeing the labels on the<br />

bags in a hyphenated form, such as<br />

15-5-10. What this means is that the<br />

bags weight contains 15% nitrogen,<br />

5% phosphorus and 10% potassium<br />

(adding up to 30%). What is in the<br />

other 70% you might, and should<br />

be asking yourself ? It is not disclosed<br />

and does not have to be disclosed.<br />

Most of us don’t want to believe that<br />

toxic elements aren’t in the other<br />

70%, but they are. And we the consumers<br />

buy these products and unknowingly<br />

spread them all over our<br />

lawns where our children and pets<br />

play. Take a moment to educate<br />

yourself more on this subject by<br />

By composting our own yard<br />

waste and using it in our gardens,<br />

we take back control of our environment.<br />

Composting is very simple<br />

and easy to do. Whether you are a<br />

seasoned gardener or someone<br />

that’s never planted a thing, the following<br />

steps will get you started.<br />

1. There is no one ‘right’ way to<br />

compost. Many seasoned composters<br />

use the two parts brown<br />

(leaves) – one part green (grass<br />

clippings, kitchen scraps, etc.)<br />

ratio, but this is not necessary.<br />

This ratio may accelerate the<br />

breakdown process, but a pile<br />

with a different ratio will still<br />

mature into compost, just at a<br />

slower rate. One can be a lazy<br />

composter. There are many<br />

Starring:<br />

Juli Small, Tracey O’Farrell,<br />

Ken Golner, Ashley Harmon,<br />

and Kenneth Densmore<br />

‘bins’ that can be used to compost<br />

and keep materials contained.<br />

You can order a cedar<br />

wood composter that is super<br />

easy to assemble from www.<br />

hayneedle .com or many other<br />

suppliers. Get online and hunt<br />

around for the best deal.<br />

2. The best compost is cured compost<br />

– piles that are set-aside for<br />

a few months to age. A small<br />

or large pile is just fine – mix it<br />

around with a digging fork when<br />

you feel like getting outside.<br />

You’ll want to add some water<br />

from the garden hose now and<br />

then, to aid in the breakdown<br />

process.<br />

3. Make your composting area<br />

convenient – locate it close to<br />

where your biggest garden is so<br />

it is easier to move materials.<br />

4. Get started now! Even if you<br />

don’t have a designated bin for<br />

the fall, you can start composting<br />

with leaves, grass clippings<br />

and kitchen scraps. Purchase a<br />

bin in the spring instead, when<br />

there are more choices available.<br />

In present day Florida, in a trailer park called “Armadillo Acres”, Betty, Lin<br />

and Pickles sun themselves with complete indifference to ozone depletion. Ever<br />

hospitable, they set aside their sun reflectors to welcome the audience. “The<br />

Girls” also introduce Jeannie, agoraphobic and unable to step outside her trailer,<br />

much to the exasperation of her toll collector husband, Norbert. Just another day,<br />

nothing new, except for Pippi, a stripper-on-the-lam who arrives to stir up trouble<br />

5. Get a book at the <strong>Norwood</strong> library<br />

on the subject. Learning<br />

the composting process with<br />

educate greatly and advance<br />

your gardening skills.<br />

Remember, creating your very<br />

made fertilizer from compost is<br />

free, gets you outside and puts<br />

you in full control of your garden.<br />

You’ll also learn just by getting out<br />

there and churning your pile – just<br />

like our grandparents use to do.<br />

Buying commercial fertilizers and<br />

‘force feeding’ them the three main<br />

ingredients of nitrogen, phosphorus<br />

and potassium does not in<br />

fact make for good nutrition for<br />

our plants. In fact, it is now well<br />

known through many studies that<br />

these synthetic fertilizers contain<br />

known carcinogens such as lead,<br />

mercury, arsenic, chromium and<br />

countless others. This information<br />

is out there – we just have to look<br />

for it and educate ourselves, and<br />

take the initiative to utilize nature’s<br />

gold. Look around – it is falling all<br />

around us during this most spectacular<br />

season of autumn.<br />

<strong>October</strong> Action<br />

<strong>October</strong> is one of my favorite<br />

months for so many reasons. Fall<br />

starts, leaves are changing colors<br />

-many are still clinging to their<br />

tree house homes. There is apple<br />

picking, cider donuts, and of<br />

course pumpkin spice anything<br />

and everything-especially coffee!<br />

But the best part of <strong>October</strong><br />

is Halloween. I love Halloween.<br />

Dressing up and being something<br />

you most likely wouldn’t be, scaring<br />

kids both young and old. And<br />

most importantly, chocolate in<br />

every imaginable size, shape and<br />

form. For at least a week after<br />

Halloween (or in my house approximately<br />

four days after), it is<br />

acceptable to have chocolate for<br />

breakfast, lunch, and an after dinner<br />

snack.<br />

And after all, isn’t milk chocolate<br />

a dairy? I mean it says milk<br />

right in the name!<br />

Many years ago, there<br />

was a Haunted Happening on<br />

Out and About<br />

Dean Street. The lady that lived<br />

there spent tireless hours spooking<br />

out her front yard. She had<br />

monsters playing musical instruments<br />

and ghastly grave yard<br />

scenes. I can’t tell you the amount<br />

of times my kids and I would<br />

drive up and down Dean Street<br />

to see her spooktacular scenes.<br />

But alas, one year ghastly<br />

gals and gents stole some of<br />

spooky stuff off the lawn and the<br />

heartbroken Halloween heroine<br />

stopped her scary scenes.<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong>’s own Civic<br />

Center used to have a haunted<br />

house within its wicked walls<br />

as well. I remember kids (and<br />

grown-ups alike) would line up to<br />

be scared by goblins, ghosts, and<br />

other creeps that go bump in the<br />

night.<br />

Until one day, the Civic Center<br />

decided to halt the Halloween<br />

happening. An indoor yard sale<br />

was held in the Civic gym and<br />

By Dawn C. Fitzgerald<br />

all the terrifically terrifying items<br />

were tagged and bagged to be<br />

enjoyed by others in such faraway<br />

places as Rhode Island ( I know, I<br />

was there looking for creepy crud<br />

and overheard the purchaser of<br />

an enormous skeleton say he was<br />

taking it to his haunted house in<br />

Rhode Island).<br />

Although kids still go Trick or<br />

Treating, and a few still scare up<br />

some decorations for Halloween,<br />

I can’t help but worry if one day<br />

my favorite holiday will come to<br />

a scarily screaming halt. And it<br />

frightens me.<br />

Where there once seemed to<br />

be so many Halloween parties in<br />

grammar school classrooms, celebrations<br />

seem to become more<br />

and more limited. To my horror,<br />

some towns have actually banned<br />

trick or treating because people<br />

think it too dangerous for the kiddos.<br />

I can’t even imagine a world<br />

without getting dressed up and<br />

going out trick or treating only to<br />

come home and gorge on chocolate.<br />

Even now this is still one of<br />

my favorite childhood memories.<br />

I lived in a triple decker in<br />

the city. In order to trick or treat,<br />

I trudged up and down three<br />

flights of stairs barely able to see<br />

in my plastic mask with tiny eye<br />

slits while wearing my extremely<br />

flammable costume to be rewarded<br />

with a teeny tiny 3 Musketeers<br />

bars.<br />

Then and now, the risk of life<br />

and limb was worth it to get that<br />

little nugget of chocolate, or trade<br />

it with a buddy for (hopefully)<br />

something better.<br />

I hope that Halloween is never<br />

halted in our town, but I’d be<br />

scared to not say that with each<br />

year that passes and every additional<br />

town that stomps on Halloween,<br />

I get a bit squeamish that<br />

one day this memory-making<br />

tradition will just end. And that<br />

makes me grimace and aghast<br />

with fright.<br />

BEAR<br />

My buddy Puddles and I used<br />

to live in the same home. We<br />

had to be surrendered when our<br />

humans moved to a no-cat housing<br />

situation. Sometimes things<br />

happen that prevent people from<br />

being able to take their loved<br />

ones....even when they try. My<br />

humans say I'm bright. (Just saying.)<br />

I love to socialize and play.<br />

WHY ADOPT AN ADULT<br />

CAT?<br />

Kittens sure are cute and wonderful<br />

in their own way, but there<br />

are definite advantages to adopting<br />

an adult cat. What are they?<br />

We interviewed this week's highlighted<br />

cats to find out.<br />

Puddles: You know what our<br />

personality is going to be. Kittens<br />

are still developing, and how they<br />

act may change. Shy? Aggressive?<br />

Cuddly? Playful? Who can tell<br />

how they'll turn out? With us, you<br />

pretty much know.<br />

Bear: We won't chew up the<br />

place. We're not exploring the<br />

world with our mouths, like kittens<br />

and your babies -- we're all<br />

through with that -- so your shoes<br />

are safe with us.<br />

Lyra: We don't tend to do crazy<br />

stuff that lands us at the vet, like<br />

chewing on electrical cords, or<br />

misjudging our jumping ability<br />

and falling. Our wisdom and experience<br />

tells us not to do such<br />

dangerous things.<br />

KEYS TO HEALTH<br />

Autumn is here, and with it<br />

some things to be aware of in<br />

order to keep your feline and other<br />

pet friends safe.<br />

Mouse poison - As the weather<br />

cools, mice seek warm places,<br />

maybe within your home. If you<br />

prefer not to have them as roommates,<br />

choose a way to uninvite<br />

them that doesn't involve poison<br />

because it is also dangerous for<br />

pets. We suggest always considering<br />

safe, humane pest removal.<br />

Symptoms of poison ingestion<br />

can include lethargy, pale gums,<br />

and blood in feces.<br />

Chrysanthemums - They're<br />

lovely to brighten the place up, but<br />

their stems and leaves can cause<br />

your pet skin irritation, increased<br />

levels of saliva, loss of balance,<br />

vomiting, and diarrhea.<br />

Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes<br />

carrying heartworm - They're still<br />

a concern this time of year. Fleas<br />

hang out in damp leaf piles, ticks<br />

hang out in spots where delicious<br />

animals travel by, rest, and eat, and<br />

all three insects are active when it's<br />

above 40 or 50 degrees, including<br />

in your home. Symptoms include<br />

itching, lethargy, weight loss, and<br />

more.<br />

See your vet for more information<br />

on all of these possible health<br />

obstacles. In case of poisoning<br />

and your vet is not available, call<br />

the Pet Poison Helpline: 855-289-<br />

0358 Please be aware there is a<br />

$49 charge, which includes initial<br />

and follow-up calls with experts.<br />

DONATIONS WELCOMED! We<br />

always need litter (Petco’s scoopable<br />

is ideal). We have empty<br />

containers on top of the cage at<br />

the back of the shelter that you<br />

can take to the litter section of the<br />

store. We also need canned and<br />

hard food for the feral colonies our<br />

volunteers look after. Good old<br />

checks are also quite welcomed<br />

- they can help defray our costs .<br />

Please see our website: baystateanimals.org<br />

Slight Dip in <strong>Norwood</strong> Listings from Last<br />

August, but Rising Average Sale Prices<br />

by Bella Caggiano<br />

<strong>Norwood</strong> housing sale prices<br />

continued to rise from August,<br />

2015, to August, <strong>2016</strong>. The number<br />

of listings fell slightly this<br />

year, however, average sale price<br />

rose significantly and houses sold<br />

quicker with fewer days to an offer<br />

and on the market.<br />

Part of the contribution for<br />

the rise in average sale price could<br />

also be credited to the sale of two<br />

houses sold between $600,000<br />

and $699,999 and $700,000 and<br />

$799,999.<br />
